Our Story …

We're back!

Last time around we had a great time and helped a few people along the way. We changed 14 tyres, repaired fuel tanks on the Birdsville, changed a starter motor in a gutter in Broken Hill, fixed false eyelashes (you don't want to know), rescued the media team, inspired a sunroof to be made with an angle grinder and spent until 4am repairing an engine ... and that was just for other teams. For ourselves, we changed one tyre.

Somewhere in the midle of the night, in the middle of nowhere a bunch of stranded strangers formed Team X, they were the ex-members of other teams and who all placed an "X" over their designated team numbers. We ushered them into the camp site, the last stragglers to arrive, singing songs and keeping spirits high whilst watching for kangaroo's on the dirt road...

In memory, this year we are going to start out as Team X and we are just as happy as last time to help people along the way and make some friends as we go.

Here's what I'm doing …

Shitbox Rally is the adventure of a lifetime challenging participants and their cars, worth no more than $1,500, on a 7 day drive across Australia to raise money for cancer research.

The rally is not a race – it’s a fun, colourful, unpredictable adventure with participants travelling at their own pace in smaller groups. Vehicles often break down but “we never leave anyone behind” and each night is spent camping beneath the stars and celebrating the day’s achievements. It all adds up to an incredible opportunity to see Australia’s vast and beautiful countryside and make lifelong friends, many brought together after experiencing cancer themselves or seeing cancer impact family and friends.

Since it’s inception the rally has been the largest fundraiser for the Cancer Council nationally.

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity

Shitbox Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research with funds going to Cancer Council.

Cancer Council is one of the largest non-government funders of cancer research in Australia. We conduct and fund research studies across all cancers and all stages of the cancer journey.

Thanks to the community funds raised such as Shitbox Rally we can fund world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer for everyone.

$41 million over the past 13 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:

A research study to develop a vaccine that protects against lymphoma cancers.
A research trial to standardise international guidelines on melanoma removal.
A research grant to revolutionise the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
